“I am a canvas of my experiences, my story is etched in lines and shading, and you can read it on my arms, my legs, my shoulders, and my stomach.” ~Kat Von D

 

 

“Tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul.”

Miami Ink

The ever so popular Miami Ink is a tattoo show that comes on TLC. People from all over the country fly in just to be tattooed by these amazing artists. It is a reality show that takes place in Miami Beach, Florida and began in the year 2005. This show was the inspiration to the beginning of many other types of shows similar to this. The famous Kat Von D actually came from this show and began her own version in Los Angelos called LA Ink which has become almost just as popular. The tattoo shop was originally named 305 Ink after the area code of Miami until later being changed to Love Hate Tattoo. This show has had many people ranging from your average Joe to superstars to be tatted up. The drama that comes up in the store helps make it a little more entertaining as well when the celebrities aren't pouring in through the doors.
